Tourist Information
A few years before his death, the famous painter Eugène Delacroix moved into a studio in Rue Furstemberg. He thus moved closer to a job he was working on at the St Sulpice church. Eugène Delacroix lived in this artist's studio until the end of his days. When he died, the workshop to which he was so attached was to be destroyed. But several of the painter's friends, including Paul Signac, decided to prevent the demolition and give the place new meaning. And this is how the national Eugène Delacroix museum was born. From 1932 on, in the painter's former apartment, concerts, exhibitions and conferences were held to pay tribute to the artist and his work. It was in 1954 that the Eugène Delacroix museum became a national museum. It contains many of the artist's works, but also objects that belonged to him. The particularity of this museum housed in Delacroix's own apartment, is its closeness to the artist, his life and work. You can visit this very special museum in rue Furstemberg, Metro station Saint-Germain-des-Prés. http://www.musee-delacroix.fr/
